A year ago taper's section let loose of a few '66 numbers not found anywhere else, including a Mindbender with a very cool guitar solo.

They also shared the unusual Cream Puff War from the 1966 Rare Oddities release (that album is well worth getting, a collection of live and studio '66 previously unreleased stuff).

Mindbender, from Feb 2, 1966.

With that nice Great Society-tinged lead break!


The page with the early '66 Cream Puff War featuring additional lyrics is at:

A 30 minute+ filmed performance of the band in 1966 is The Acid Test - details at http://www.key-z.com/video.html

See the YT OT too!

I think that video is from the 1-8-66 Test....which for some reason isn't on the Archive? Several blues numbers like King Bee & Death, which are interesting since they show that the Dead's approach to their blues songs changed very little over time.
